Old Hollywood Starlets on Skis

Back in November, I posted an amazing photo finding of Norma Jean before she was Marilyn Monroe skiing in high heels on the sand. You can review by going back to the post here.

After the news hit of Dame Elizabeth Taylor's death few days ago on March 23, I found an equally amazing picture of her as a young Little Liz sledding.

So then an idea struck and I started to comb the interwebs for more Hollywood Starlets on the mountain - skiing, sledding, whatever. Here are some photographs I found, including the one of Dame Elizabeth Taylor and an additional sand skiing photograph from the Norma Jean shoot. I hope Little Liz and these other beautiful Hollywood ladies are having fun on the big mountains in heaven.

Thanks to myloveofoldhollywood.blogspot.com for many of the photos!

1974 Gold Medal Barbie with Olympic Ski Village. Where's 2010?

I was a huge fan of Barbies when I was little.  I mean, a HUGE fan.  I had Barbie cars, Barbie McDonald's, Barbie Salon, Barbie Pool, Barbie Mansion, etc. You get the idea.

Mattel has always been smart to have a selection of themed Barbies. One commercial I recently found is a Barbie I would like now - 1974 Gold Medal Barbie with Olympic Ski Village sold separately.  Oh, the joy!  This is just amazing.  Do you recognize the commercial announcer's voice?

Start with a downhill race for Barbie and then move into the Lodge for some après ski party fun - Barbie style.  We all know what Barbie style means, don't we?  It's FUNTASTIC!

Mattel needs to bring back this version but Lindsey Vonn style.  I would buy one.
